How to make a really big Slip'n Slide in your own back yard

[BuffieK]

:D hehe..You are too funny!! :) Love it!!

[bartleycollin]

Wait how do you not slide head first, but slide on your stomach????

[gothmael]

we just made one using the 3 lane version. Glue is drying now... this has a good chance of being epic

[Blookulele]

I love the way you did this. Thanks for reaffirming my faith in humanity :D

[clarinetcutie43]

They are pretty much breaking all the rules and I love it!

[MrLaramarkovits]

Can someone tell me what the music is?

[unclejohnthezef]

@MrLaramarkovits the first part is from "Vintage Children's Favorites" from the 1920's, it's called "Balloons" and i think it's by uncle monty

the second part is sun ra singing "We Travel the Spaceways", from an old documentary

[destroymyEpets]

wheres the duck tape it would of pelled off on the first slide with all the water and u connect the sections like shingles on a roof not the other way around they r glued wrong.......fake

[skaterkd96320]

[squeekygoose9]

[MegaSaltine]

How do you get that voice?

[skatergirlchick]

[july371737]

[Darkswitchhole]

[shoolbraid]

[pacothepimp1]

[srryforu3]

[STRANGEBL0KE]

[crooknook]

Great fun, my kids won't believe it. I think I'll work on it as a secret project and bust it out the next time they want to go swimming...THANKS!

[unclejohnthezef]

wahoo! that's gonna be an awesome surprise

[tmg331]

oo i want one!

[dancinroyalty17]

#3 would be funny!!!

[potatoface13]

... is that really your handwriting? the editing makes up for it!

[unclejohnthezef]

oh, and also:

4) soft grass under you and

5) good speed before lift-off!

[millert1409]

@unclejohnthezef Were you the dude with the glasses in the end? Oh. By the way. Most of the Wham O slip n slides are not very good, but probably the best slip n slides out there. Definitely better than Banzai, thats for sure.

[dylanbrady07]

it was good but what if youm dont have slip and slides0.

[unclejohnthezef]

i think the three key ingredients are ( in descending order)

1) smoothe plastic

2) steady water spray

3) some downhill if at all possible

then, the key seems to be getting good speed, and getting low to the ground before you dive (and bellies seem to slide better than shirts or one-piece suits or UV/water-suits). so plastic sheeting or tarps can work fine if you have the other two ingredients (lots of water and a good downhill) and so on

[luigifreak209]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooool

[Frediscoolerthanjosh]

not for under five and yet i bet thhat was a 2 year old using it

[VeilStar666]

whats your point?

[Charlottegooding]

That was the point, doing the opposite of the instructions, idiot?

[ys1992]

aha this reminds me of when we got a lot of tarps n put em tgther n put chocolate syrup all over and slide down..goood times. btw thanks for the help!

[TVwriter23]

Well the Slip and Slide started out homemade

[chroniccomics5]

we always put a big tarp across the lawn and slid down, it was great

[unclejohnthezef]

i just saw some baseball players do that during a rain-delay: wahoo!!

[xPivotGirlx]

instead of running before i go on it i'll put soap all over me and move the slip and slide to a hill.

[unclejohnthezef]

the soap works, but you still need water to make it really slippy!

[investingsystems]

It was ausome. I built one and it rocked.

[unclejohnthezef]

Wa-HOOOO!

[oijhf]

mee too

[sidewalkboys123]

WATCH THE SIDEWALK BOYS

[sk8el3mentfreak]

lol get a running start and ul go fast

[kelbylyng]

wow wat do you have no life

[bcbird]

Cool - where'd you purchase the slides?

[CLEP11]

i have one like what they started with at wal-mart.

[unclejohnthezef]

kmart, but they disappear as it gets hotter outside: sometimes you have to get them in Springtime!

[koolaidnhemlock]

they are going so slow

[unclejohnthezef]

that's the funny thing: with a small downhill, you just kinda stroll along... also, it definitely works better without a cloth shirt (bellies are faster)

[darkroxas46]

i wish me and my family had half of the fun dey wer having..............

[dsutari]

God bless ya for having so much fun with your kids, and a sense of humor to boot!

[Yvonne344]

Noo,, You use 3 terps or what ever.. And put water,, and dish soap on it!! IT WORKS TRUST ME!!

[camb00]

shampoo works better and smells nicer too

[jon3m2007]

I have a 3ft garden wot ought i do!

[lizzie219]

thats gay

[quackerZcentral]

last rule CHECK THE ROCKS BEFORE LAYING IT DOWN lmao :P i learned that personally

[WhiteNinja09]

LMAO at 2:05 "Or if you have 20 and 30 year olds and a lot of alcohol"

nice vid, I like the spelling in the beg. and the how-to music.

[kevwasere]

thats good .... but with soap you go way faster

[redleader413]

lol nice

[bokeymama26]

My daughters bday party is tomorrow, and we are adding one of these, AND a pie fight.. this should be interesting!

[unclejohnthezef]

i wonder if the pie fight should be before the slipnslide (to wash off whipped cream), or after (to slip faster with whipped cream), or before and after? Sounds like fun!

[mattrules24]

those pesky little warnings are just recomened warnings lol

[Booth789]

so how the party go??

[ashankou55]

And Duct.Tape...Hehe

[unclejohnthezef]

now when i make them, I just use the duct tape, without the glue... that stuff holds anything to anything, and has never come apart after two years, with all that mud and water!

[kittievx9]

thats not very long

[mistfree15]

20 and30 year olds and lots of alcohol. LOL

[xjappierocks5]

it looks so damn cold.

[Dame1999]

the kid in the diaper cracked me up

[herseyb]

awesome

[specialboyp]

just use a tarp, it works as good
